Our Car after driving to the sky walk
Some Scenery on the way, where's the roadrunner??
The Digital Sirius network, yes they have Elvis 24/7 Friday 7th
Today we decided to drive to the Grand Canyon, we wanted to go to the skywalk that hangs over the Canyon, we were'nt really sure where abouts it was as our "TomTom" didn't know it, but we decided to drive in the general direction, as we were on the road to Kingman we saw a sign that said "to the sky walk, only 49 Miles". We then realised that we didn't have enough petrol to do the 49 miles twice and still be 30 miles from the nearest town, so we drove to Kingman to get some fuel and some lunch, we then return towards the skywalk thinking it would be a good drive, um no one told us the road was mostly unsealed with an average speed of 30mph, it took us two hours to get there, when we arrived at the gate the man told us that the park closed in 45 minutes and it was still a 15 minute bus ride to the skywalk until we were told the price... $20 to park the car, $30 each for the bus to the skywalk and $30 each to then walk on the skywalk.... mmm $180 for about 20 minutes, we turned around and to find some accommodation nearby so we could possibly return the next day, we had seen a ranch on the way but after asking the price there ($179.00... each) we decided to return to Kingman and not worry about the skywalk.
Tomorrow we will head to the southern part of the Grand Canyon.

Hi Richard & Bronte
You are having a busy time and sound as though you are enjoying yourselves. Suzanne would be jealous of the rides you went on. I will have to get the map out and have a look at exactly where you are. Gee the time has gone quickly, nearly two weeks since you left.
Greg sends his regards. Mutley says hello also.
You are missing another heat wave that has hit Adelaide. Some record has been broken with the amount of days over 35c in a row. Today it was 39c and 35c here in the Mount. Tomorrow is meant to be 38c in the Mount and probably 40c or more for the next couple of days in Adelaide. Aren't you lucky where you are with the cooler weather. Same as last year.
Keep enjoying yourselves, sounds as though you are on the go and will need to come back to Adelaide for a rest.
Love Mum xx
